Container loading and shipping heavy machinery safely

Packing\n\nSmall machines travel crated or shrink-wrapped on steel skids. Loaders and tank trucks are lashed directly to the container floor or shipped RoRo. Exposed rods, glass and lights are wrapped before loading.\n\n## The lashing report\n\nBefore a container is sealed we photograph: the machine in position, every lashing point, the hour meter, the serial plate and the seal number. You receive the set the same day.\n\n## Incoterms\n\n- FOB Qingdao, Tianjin or Shanghai is our default.\n- CFR / CIF when you want us to book the vessel.\n- DAP where a reliable inland leg exists.\n\n## Transit times\n\nStock mini excavators ship in 7-15 days, loaders in 15-25 days, tank trucks and cranes in 30-45 days depending on drawing approval.\n\n> Ask for the lashing photos in your contract. It costs nothing and settles any insurance discussion instantly.
